Does the job!
by SandraJay·11 years ago
My theme came with a color picker but it wouldn’t keep the custom color if I left the page! Each time I edited, I had to insert the hex code to get back to my original color. Frustrating, to say the least. This little plug-in did the job! I’m so grateful, and what a time saver now (wish I’d found this plug-in two weeks ago when I started building my site!) Thank you!
